Denise Richards Worries About Charlie Sheen, Educates Children

Charlie Sheen may have accused her of murdering his dog, but Denise Richards says that's all in the past. During an interview on The Today Show this morning, the actress said she and her ex are "in a good place."

Does she worry about him?

"Of course," Richards said. "He's the father of our children... [But] he's also a survivor. If anyone can pull themselves together, it's Charlie."

As a result of Sheen's antics, Richards said she's been forced to teach her daughters about issues such as addiction.

"I got a book to read to them," she said. "I was just lying to them about so much, and covering up things and totally lying. It was just getting too confusing that I had to sit down with them... It's too early [for them to understand]. I told them enough for them to make sense of things that were going on."
